Radnor Lake

Oak Hill’s Radnor Lake traces its
beginnings to 1913, when the L&N Railroad bought a thousand-acre tract in
the Overton Hills to build an earthen reservoir to supply water for steam
engines and livestock in Radnor Yards, as well as private hunting and fishing
grounds for company officials and guest. L&N took the first step toward
preserving Radnor Lake as a nature area in 1923, when an executive stopped all
hunting and fishing on the site and declared it a wildlife sanctuary. When the
land was purchased by a developer in 1962 who intended to develop the site for
housing, a grassroots preservation movement began trying to save it, and in
1974, nearly 750 acres were named Tennessee’s first natural area and protected
ecosystem. Today the park encompasses 1,200 acres.
